skin sensitivity - burning sensation Mar 23, 2009 I have been experiencing a burning sensation on my skin lasting about a month. The sensation started at the top of my bu on both sides and now is mid baxk and on my scalp. I am worried as to what it could be. I thought of shingles but there is no rash. My meds are truvada and sustiva. I havent had a reaction to them in the last 2 years since beginning therapy. Any help would be appreciated. My cd4 is 800 and nil viral load. Thanks P |

 It would be unusual to develop a skin sensitivity from your current HIV meds after two years of use though it may happen rarely. An evaluation by your HIV specialist and/or a dermatologist is recommended to more precisely define the nature of the skin abnormality in order to make a diagnosis and offer treatment suggestions.
